A Doc M pack is a complete set of sanitaryware and accessories supplied together to fit out a disabled washroom in line with Approved Document M of the Building Regulations. Document M sets out what is required for a building to be accessible to people with disabilities, covering layout dimensions, fixture heights and the equipment that must be present in any accessible toilet facility in a building open to the public or used as a workplace.
Ordering a complete pack means every component has been selected to work together and meet the regulation. A contractor or building owner can order once, knowing the installation will comply when fitted to the correct layout dimensions, without having to cross-check every individual product against the document. For individual accessible fittings outside a complete pack, see our ranges of accessible toilets and accessible wash basins.
A standard Doc M WC pack includes a raised height toilet pan, cistern, wash basin, lever action mixer tap, grab rails and a hinged support arm. The raised height pan makes transfer on and off the seat easier for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility. The grab rails provide support during transfer and while seated. The lever tap means the basin can be operated without grip strength, which matters for a significant proportion of disabled washroom users.
Packs vary in exactly what is supplied. Some include a TMV3 thermostatic mixing valve to control outlet temperature at the basin tap, a toilet roll holder attached to the support arm, and an emergency alarm pull cord. Always check the product listing for the full contents before ordering. Any item not included will need to be sourced separately before the installation can be considered complete and compliant.
Doc M packs are available in left hand and right hand versions. The configuration refers to which side the hinged support arm sits on relative to the toilet pan. Approved Document M requires a clear transfer space of at least 700mm to one side of the WC so a wheelchair user can pull alongside and transfer across. The hinged arm must be positioned on that open side so it can be used during transfer.
A left hand pack has the arm on the left when facing the toilet. A right hand pack has it on the right. Which you need is determined by your washroom layout, specifically by which side of the toilet the clear floor space falls. Ordering the wrong configuration means the support arm will be on the wall side rather than the transfer side, which makes the installation non-compliant and potentially unusable.
Approved Document M governs access to and use of buildings. Any new building open to the public or used as a workplace, and any existing building undergoing a material change of use, must include accessible toilet facilities that meet its requirements. The document specifies minimum room dimensions, fixture heights and positions, grab rail configurations and the clear floor space required around each fitting.
Doc M packs are designed to satisfy these requirements when installed to the specified layout. Many are also WRAS approved, confirming the water fittings meet Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards for connection to a mains supply. If you are specifying for a healthcare setting, the relevant Health Technical Memoranda should also be reviewed alongside Approved Document M as additional requirements may apply.
